President
Buhari has denied reports that he is a chauvinist and that his
administration has a low percentage of female representation. The
President reacted to the report when he spoke with the Nigerian
community in Poland yesterday, December 2nd.When asked about the number
of women in his administration, President Buhari said‘‘I have plans for
all Nigerians. I am not a male chauvinist. If I’m a chauvinist will I
give the Finance Ministry to women?’’ . President Buhari also used the
occasion to reiterate that his government will continue to maintain
focus and deliver on the three focal points of his campaign in 2015:
security, economy and the fight against corruption. ‘‘Those in the
North East will tell you that in spite of the recent setbacks, there is a
difference between the time we came and before. We are not doing badly
on security, economy and agriculture. We have virtually stopped the
importation of food especially rice and we are saving a lot of money. We
now have food security and that has come with fiscal security because a
lot of young educated people have not regretted going back to the farms
and earning a respectable living. I am afraid, this is not receiving
good publicity… but a lot of people in the rural areas are enjoying the
benefits of our interventions in agriculture,’’ he said.President Buhari denies being a Chauvinist, says his administration has enough female representation
